The show was praised for how closely the first two episodes adhered to the game's story, so by that metric, the third episode will take some flak for deviating from it. Wanting the show to continue to bring the game's major beats, story and set pieces to its TV adaptation isn't "lowest common denominator".
You could be showing 45 minutes of Ferraris crashing into walls or catching fire, not sure that company would consider that promotion. Or you could see someone talking up all the specs. Or it could just be some guy who owns one and it’s never really talked about, it’s just there. It’s possible to be on screen in all sorts of contexts. In this case, there’s nothing being “promoted” here. Was Frank jumping around being like “oh my god look how GAY we are isn’t being GAY so great I’m so glad we’re GAY!! Let’s tell the world!!” No.
Yes, exactly like being totally fine if the episode was about a heterosexual relationship and calling it propaganda because it was about a homosexual relationship. This is plain as day what you’re describing.
And I was listing the various criteria of the definition and you said “(you) didn’t put biased or misleading in bold…”
As much as I love games I am sometimes embarrassed to be a gamer and stuff like this is why.Ep 3 is being review bombed
How sad do you have to be? IT dePARteD froM tHE gAMe!! Sure buddy, that must be why
I was actually thinking of rewatching it tonight with my wife because I think she’d love it too and it’s fairly self contained
If you are a part of the LGBTQ community and cannot have a civilized conversation you're a part of the problem. Attacking others when they have not attacked you doesn't solve anything or help get your point across.
People require multiple cues before fully believing something, almost no one learns from their first mistakes. Joel's actions outside of the Boston QZ are just emotional reactions. Reinforcement is necessary to bring the reaction out as a solid and coherent belief.
If you cannot handle other people’s opinions you should go back to REEE.
The Witcher season 3 will have kissing men scenes too. They are actually using that as a reason to be excited for Season 3.
You do know it's a TV show and every episode can't be all the same shit, there's a reason this show is sooo fucking good, the sheer talent behind it know exactly what they're doing and yeah I loved Bill in the game and that entire section but fuck me man I don't wanna see the game on screen, I want to see another take on it and that latest episode was the sort of deviations I want to see, flesh out the ingame characters, go down other avenues etcLOL at anyone who ‘loved’ this episodeclearly they never played the game. In Bill’s town you have some of the most engaging and awesome moments in the game, from their interactions between Ellie and Bill to the nailbombs, bloater, the school run with runners everywhere, they skipped all of that to give us a love story about bill and frank lol
I know they were gonna do some filler stuff but that was trash.
then you must hate TLOU2. weird take.
Did I not say it was a general thing I disliked?
could've sworn I did. It's lazy and stupid in TV shows because it solely exists to keep the actor paid.
Yeah, Qatar still employs slavery. Should they be used as an argument to reinstate it in the West? I swear, some of these rationalizations...
Most people lack the self awareness. If you enjoyed the episode great but if you can't comprehend why someone who loved the first game could hate it then you truly are a fool.
Ep4 is The Hunters ambush. So yeah, I expect it to pop off.
What if we understood it, don't mind the gay stuff, and still didn't think it was THAT great?
So are you just gonna gloss over this as well then from the game? Y'know, the gay-porn mag Ellie stole with the other books?
Yeah. I had an account since the beginning over there. I said in the JK thread “wellll she’s not wrong!”
Boo hoo
It should have kept it a mystery because the way Joel and Tess got involved was dumb and reckless. And they had 20 years of supplies, including enough fuel for electricity for that large area?
Lol it feels like the flood gates have opened, anyone who seems to say they didn’t like the episode seems to be labelled a homophobe or has a problem with gay people LOL.
It would've been much more sad, honestly, because I would've been able to relate to it even more, since I'm in a straight marriage. So in that sense, I guess the answer is no, I wouldn't have praised it the same way.
Those are fair complaints
I thought it was gonna suck when White Room kicked on and the episode started doing the whole tired and overdone: "This guy is tough, watch all of the cool shit he does buy himself, isn't he cool and so bad bad-ass" and then totally did the opposite. I loved it and would've loved a two-hour episode.
I know someone just like this IRL. In fact, there is a right wing gay man who happens to be on this message board as well, and doesn’t subscribe to the alphabet soup group think collectivism.
